A: If you were rightfully in the lane, the other driver may have violated your right of way. If there was a police report, that could have an impact as to how the case is evaluated by the insurance company. Louisiana has unique sets of laws in place. Contact a local attorney to find out your respective rights and recommended courses of action.
